INOGO reference library completed

http://inogo.stanford.edu/libraries/biblioteca-de-referencia

More than 400 hours of work over a year by a small team. A new excellent resource for documents of the Osa and Golfito region. Please contact me if you would like access to any of these documents while we work out the online downloading approach (eventually via inogo.stanford.edu).

Costa Rica Biological Corridors study

After a few challenging - but productive - years, the LiCOR has returned to its home at Carnegie. Long live the LiCOR!

With the excellent help of Cam and Rikke we brought the two top of canopy climate towers down and calculated the final wind direction azimuths.

Carrying one of our two 15 foot tower poles out of the forest.

Rigging up for the removal of the high elevation tower.

 

And a final celebratory climb of a 180 ft. giant redwood. What a view of Laupahoehoe!

My day has felt like the Matrix movie…

Working to create a 3D leaf area density map of my study area… Challenging!

Leaf grinding for isotope analyses
